Cars; the mere topic can send most men into their fantasy speeding down the open road in their dream vehicle. There are thousands of options out there in different makes, models, sizes, colours, speeds and qualities. Each man with their own unique car-of-their-dreams differs from the next. Have you ever noticed that cars can really “suit” their drivers? This is because people pick out things they fancy based on their personality. It’s what appeals to their totality of qualities, traits, character and behaviours. We use it every day when making decisions about our home, work, decor, fashion, style, and yes…our car. Our personality is reflected in everything around us. So, what does your car reveal about you?
There are usually two dominant characteristics that stand out in each person’s vehicle and personality type. One characteristic in particular will probably be quite dominant, while you may recognize yourself in another.
While I cannot list all of the different makes and models of cars, I will be talking about the lines and curves of the vehicle instead (which interesting enough…will be similar to the drivers themselves!)
If you have a car that is striking, sophisticated, bold, glamorous….usually defined by sleek lines that are sharp, angular, and severe and with bold colouring and luxurious (i.e. sports cars…think Diablo or Ferrari); you are a most likely a dramatic personality type. You’re someone that values prosperity, success, independence and you’re a risk taker. You appreciate the jet set like and are often seen in metropolitan areas with the beautiful and rich. You become bored easily. You like to be on the cutting edge of things. Your fashion-forward and extreme, you tend to be noticed. You appreciate high quality. You’re most likely an entrepreneur, an executive, or entertainer. You’re often motivated by wealth and prestige and love food that is gourmet or exotic. For you, only first class will do. You prefer to drink premier liquor straight up or on the rocks. Your home is most likely a place to be seen in rather than, “live” in and has clean lines that are sparse with the minimum of furnishings. Your place is spotless because of the cleaning person you have on a regular basis.
If your car is long, tall, wide, informal and comfortable, a larger front and has a sophisticated look with an air of elegance and poise (i.e. think Range rover) you may have and aristocratic or elegant personality type. You most likely look like you come from old money. You enjoy a higher quality life style and have friends that often like visiting you. Quality is key and is never overlooked. You like to invest in the things you purchase. Your clothing is usually tailored, comfortable and a bit “sporty” looking (think Tommy Hilfiger) and you love trousers with sweaters and jackets. Your walk is hard and long. You’re probably highly educated and your career can be along the lines of something medical, science oriented, or in the field of math. You love things like horseback riding, walking the dogs, reading and conversations that captivate you for hours. You’re motivated by achievement. You enjoy being active and travelling to northern European countries. Your house is spacious with antiques, rugs, and comfortable sofas with paintings above them.
If you have a car that has the look of being carefreware, casual, practical and grounded (think pick –up truck) you probably have a natural personality type. You most likely have the guy or girl next door look to you. There is more straightness in your face than softness. You’re someone that doesn’t take kindly to authority and likes to be freware and do things your own way. Material possessions are not a top priority to you as much as ethics and ecology. You value authenticity, nature, and frewaredom. Your fashion is normally pretty casual and comfortable; jeans and t-shirts are the order of the day. You like natural woven fabrics and are proud of any bargains that you find. Your house is normally in a state of disarray, though you’ll do a “surface clean” for any company that might be coming over. Your visitors may have to watch for dog or cat hair on the sofas. You most likely want to back pack across Europe and prefer areas that are off the beaten track. You like homes that are rustic with lots of wood and antiques. You probably have a garden that is wild. You drink beer – straight out of the
